Cold Ground   Run Time: 3:43

Written by Bill Mallonee for Russachugama Music and CyBrenJoJosh (BMI) ©1994

well headlights kick the darkness of some back road of alabama
this time there'll be no news team no ap or upi cameras
well car door opens he's kicked to the ground
no one's gonna hear those hideous sounds

it's a long time waiting 'til the justice kicks in
i wanna work for my wife and pray for my kids
leave this world a little better than i found
in the cold ground

yes legislature won't change hell's march in the human heart
it's been such a long time since i've seen the Spirit moving around these parts
up from the blood of abel under the earth
crying to the Lord every drop screaming worth

there's a man in a field with a bullhorn and a sixth grade education
and he's feeding us all his twisted ideas of some kind of race relations
he's got his finger on the trigger he's been known to use it
got his boot in my gut Lord i'm sweating bullets

Did You Know?

The version that appears as a bonus track on Killing Floor was a demo recorded in Atlanta after a show at Eddie's Attic.

Appeared On…
